Unhappiness will not shorten your life
“Illness makes you unhappy, but unhappiness itself doesn’t make you ill … We found no direct effect of unhappiness or stress on mortality, even in a 10-year study of a million women.”
So states Dr Bette Liu, now at the University of New South Wales in Australia, about a study which has just been published in the “Lancet” medical journal. You’ll find more information on the study here.
And, if you want some suggestions on how to be happy, you’ll find some advice here.
